A semiparametric GARCH model for foreign exchange volatility
نویسنده
چکیده
A semiparametric extension of the GJR model (Glosten et al., 1993. Journal of Finance 48, 1779–1801) is proposed for the volatility of foreign exchange returns. Under reasonable assumptions, asymptotic normal distributions are established for the estimators of the model, corroborated by simulation results. When applied to the Deutsche Mark/US Dollar and the Deutsche Mark/British Pound daily returns data, the semiparametric volatility model outperforms the GJR model as well as the more commonly used GARCH(1; 1) model in terms of goodness-of-fit, and forecasting, by correcting overgrowth in volatility. r 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Time-varying/Sign-switching Risk Perception on Foreign Exchange Markets
In this paper we analyze the consequences of considering risk-augmented speci cations of the relationship between spot and forward rates. Previous parametric speci cations such as the GARCH-M provided disappointing results possibly due to the high degree of persistence of the estimated process for conditional volatility. We propose a more exible semiparametric approach where a nonparametric est...
متن کاملSemiparametric Multivariate GARCH Model∗
To capture the missed information in the standardized errors by parametric multivariate generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (MV-GARCH) model, we propose a new semiparametric MV-GARCH (SM-GARCH) model. This SM-GARCH model is a twostep model: firstly estimating parametric MV-GARCH model, then using nonparametric skills to model the conditional covariance matrix of the standa...
متن کاملSemiparametric Multivariate GARCH Models for Volatility Asymmetries and Dynamic Correlations
We propose a simple class of semiparametric multivariate GARCH models, allowing for asymmetric volatilities and time-varying conditional correlations. Estimates for time-varying conditional correlations are constructed by means of a convex combination of estimates for averaged correlations (across all assets) and dynamic realized (historical) correlations. Our model is very parsimonious. Estima...
متن کاملVolatility Dynamics in Foreign Exchange Rates: Further Evidence from Malaysian Ringgit and Singapore Dollar
The volatility dynamics of foreign exchanges have been the focus of research since Bollerslev’s (1986) seminal work on the generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) modelling. Several well-established empirical regularities may be highlighted as follows: [a] evidence of volatility clustering is detected in the exchange rates returns; [b] asymmetric effects in exchange ra...

The main purpose of this paper is to verify the effectiveness of the bivariate Component GARCH-in-mean (GARCHM) model and analyze the interactions and risk premium of equity markets by exploring the shortand long-run volatility components on both the Taiwanese and Japanese equity markets. We show that unexpected shocks of volatility will in general influence the fluctuations of both equity and ...
